Everything is political to some degree, even religion. So, which actors do you think have talent?

There are several. Jean Yoon, Sir Patrick Stewart, Brandon Routh, the delightful Emilia Clarke...

Why do they have talent?

I think they're really talented too. Patrick Stewart & Brandon Routh are 2 of my favourite actors. I follow both of them on Twitter. They've been outspoken critics of Trump. Patrick Stewart calls him Dreadful Trump. He also paid a guy not to vote for him, lol.


Brandon Routh's Twitter has posts critical of Trump pretty much every day. Brandon Routh (@BrandonJRouth) | Twitter

I hadn't heard of Jean Yoon but I looked her up. She did 'praise' Trump on only saying 8 false things at 1 of the fall debates. She's promoted the women's march against Trump the day of the inauguration.

I said these people have acting talent imho, not that I necessarily agree with them politically.

I didn't say you agreed with them politically. I was just pointing out how they're not fans of Trump either.

Just wondering. If Trump said that these actors had no talent would that change your mind about them?

No.

How do you judge whether someone has acting talent?

Calling her "excellent" and "fine" is not the same as calling her his favorite.

It is, in the context of the question to which he was responding with that statement, which was about what actresses he loved in particular, which is synonymous with favor (see post #195).

Who cares?

Alice Cooper has the best advice when it comes to celebrities and politics:

First of all, why do people think rock stars know more than they do? That is the biggest fallacy in the world – if anything, we’re dumber. We’re not smarter than anybody else. I mean, why do you think we’re rock stars?

The same applies to actors.

It won't matter. He is determined to play his little semantic game, while the whole point zooms over his head.
Following Trump's lead, they just make up the 'truth' as they need.

Apparently the person I was quoting cares about those celebrities & their talent, lol. This thread is about a celeb's political remarks.

I realized awhile after my post that his username's in pink, so I think the game of semantics is on hold at the moment.

Indeed.

It is a common technique of the cult of personality performance to disdain or mock those who you know will not support you. Obama did it with gun owners and those who do not see the Constitution as a "living" document, Trump does it with celebs and the media. Same sketch, different artist.

In pink?

Yes; apparently if a username appears in pink (more like magenta) it means they've been put in time-out. (Light green usernames are supporters, other colors indicate various levels of admins, staff, etc.)
